Ingredients
- 1 medium head cabbage
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt, more as needed
- 3 to 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1Gather the ingredients.
- 2Rinse 1 medium head cabbage in water, pat dry, then cut into 6 equal-sized wedges.
- 3Add about 1/2 inch of lightly salted water to a large skillet or Dutch oven. Cover, and bring to a boil. Add cabbage wedges and 1/2 teaspoon fine salt. Simmer, covered, until the cabbage begins to soften, 5 to 7 minutes.
- 4Turn the cabbage carefully, and continue to simmer until the cabbage is tender, an additional 5 minutes. The cabbage is ready when a small paring knife inserted into the thickest part of the cabbage near the core slides through easily.
- 5Drain the water and return the pan to low heat. Continue to cook, uncovered, until any remaining moisture has evaporated. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter , turning the cabbage gently to coat.
- 6Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and serve.
